of this review and for future deposits of

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
final results for all shipments of PET
Film from the UAE entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be the rate
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, no cash deposit will be
required); (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the less-thanfair-value investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash

Notification to Importers
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review
period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
These preliminary results of
administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(1).
